The connectionV between the vibrator 25and the plate'26 preferably consists of a bolt 28 andV the connection between the vibrator 25 and theho'ok 27'likewise consists fof a Vbolt 29, said bolts`28 land 29 also preferably serving for the connection of a U-shaped rod iron to the depending arm 15.

connected to the main supporting beam 3 in a manner similar tothat ofthe arm 15. In theAL embodiment illustrated, however, the arm 15av is merely rigidly connected to the opposite end of the mainsupporting:beam 3 between the plates :6 and 7 thereof by a plurality of Y rivets or other connecting lmeans 3l. 'Beportion 27a may beprovided a vibrator or vi- \25 tweenfthe upper section or plate 26a of said arm 15a and the lower section or hook-shaped brating element 25a as for they pivoted arm k15. The respective connections between said elements 26a, 27a and 25a are provided by'bolts or the-like 28"i and 29a'which, as in connection .withfthe pivoted arm, also serve for connectfing a -U-shaped member or grabliron. 30a. '1. As il1u'strated,the V'lower or hook-shaped portion 27l may be formed slightly different,

if:desiied,'fr'om the hook 27. That-is, said hook 27a is formed-:with an outwardly4 disposed web 32 extending betweenvthe hook end of the member 27a and the adjacent shank portion thereofiso as to better provide for i igrippingfa projection vor stud of a foundry f -Yflask'or other Iobject. supported by said bail.
